Aria Nouveau transports audiences on a journey through crossover hits, Broadway blockbusters, mainstream opera favorites and popular music in an elegant and artful evening perfect for music lovers of all ages. Featuring the world-class talents of soprano Laura Auer and tenor John Riesen.

Artists like Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli pioneered the “classical crossover” genre, where elements of pop and opera seamlessly blend into a lush landscape of soaring vocals, rich orchestrations, and unbridled emotion. John and Laura bring the form to new heights with their classical training, sensitive musicality, and undeniable chemistry. Check out the sizzle reel:
